Prompt, patient and Fun.
What an amazing day. My family of 4 enjoyed an amazing tour with Claudia. She was extremely knowledgeable, personable, patient and very friendly. The day was hot, but there was no rush to move on quickly. Claudia answered all our questions about Chichen itza and other historical items. This was followed by great dip into the Xenote and wrapped with a tasty lunch buffet. Our driver Aldo was an amazing driver as well. Highly highly recommend to use Kay tours. No regrets!
Response from the operator: It was a real pleasure to be part of your family’s day in the Riviera Maya. We love knowing that you had the freedom to enjoy each part of the experience without feeling rushed, especially on a day filled with so much to see and discover. Claudia and Aldo will be very happy to know that their care helped make the day so enjoyable for your family. They both bring a wonderful sense of warmth and dedication to what they do, and we are fortunate to have them with us. Thank you for trusting Kay Tours Mexico with such an important part of your vacation. Your recommendation means a lot to our entire team.

Perfect private driver and guide
I set this up via email with Kay tours. Nice helpful responses from them. I had a private driver who was also my guide, because I just wanted to experience chichin itza history without a big bus, cenote and town the other tours all involve. It is about a 2.5 hour drive, long day even just taking their express tour. Great service, friendly and knowledgeable guide, excellent trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're delighted to know that we could provide the kind of experience you were looking for. Every traveler has a different way of exploring, and we're always happy to tailor our services to make each visit as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. Your kind words about our team mean a great deal, and we'll be sure to share them with your guide. Recognition like yours inspires us to continue delivering the personalized service that we strive for every day. Thank you for choosing Kay Tours Mexico. It was a pleasure being part of your journey, and we hope to welcome you back whenever your travels bring you to Mexico again.

Great experience
Had an amazing time exploring Chichen Itza, Valladolid and swimming in a cenote! Were picked up at 6:30am and dropped off to our hotel by 7:30pm by Adrian and Eric who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day and ensured we had everything we had everything we needed! We arrived at Chichen itza first thing so were able to enjoy it before it was too crowded and hot! Then went onto Valladolid, had a lovely lunch and then were able to swim in a beautiful Cenote which had zip wired and jump spots. We were given the choice of 2 lunch places and 2 cenotes. Overall great and memorable experience and would definitely recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 💙 We're delighted to hear you had such a memorable day exploring Chichén Itzá, Valladolid, and the cenote. We're especially happy that Adrian and Eric took great care of you and helped make your experience so enjoyable. Thank you for choosing Kay Tours and for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another amazing adventure in Mexico! 🇲🇽

5/5 Stars – Incredible VIP Experience with James!
"This tour was truly incredible! Our tour guide, James, was a perfect 10/10. He gave us VIP treatment throughout the entire day and we never felt rushed. He was extremely knowledgeable and could answer every single question we asked about the ruins. He is very genuine, and we will definitely book again and request his services. Our driver was awesome as well—super professional, both of them. Highly recommended!"
Response from the operator: Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us! 💙 We're truly grateful for your kind words and thrilled to hear you had such a memorable experience. We'll be sure to share your compliments with James and your driver, they'll be delighted to know their knowledge, professionalism, and care made your day so special. Thank you for your trust and recommendation. We can't wait to welcome you back for another incredible adventure in Mexico! 🇲🇽

Amazing trip to Chichen Itza
We had the most amazing experience on this trip with our guide Alondra. She was extremely knowledgeable, great fun and kept us entertained with local history and stories throughout our trip. If we could her her fit every trip we most certainly would. I’d certainly recommend asking for her when you book and Kay Tours themselves have of course been fantastic also :) Very happy here.
Response from the operator: We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us! 💙 We're so happy to hear that Alondra made your Chichén Itzá adventure so memorable with her knowledge and enthusiasm. We'll be sure to share your lovely comments with her! Thank you for choosing Kay Tours and for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another amazing experience in Mexico! 🇲🇽

Why this scores 94
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Chichen Itza - No additional stops at other hotels: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.
How much does Private Chichen Itza - No additional stops at other hotels cost?
+
Prices start at $189 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Chichen Itza - No additional stops at other hotels take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Playa del Carmen is not rushed.
Is Private Chichen Itza - No additional stops at other hotels worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 94 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 494 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Chichen Itza - No additional stops at other hotels?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Chichen Itza - No additional stops at other hotels suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Chichen Itza - No additional stops at other hotels?
+
Around 173 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Playa del Carmen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Chichen Itza - No additional stops at other hotels start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Playa del Carmen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Playa del Carmen?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour, VIP Tulum Private Tour, Chichen Itza Private Tour VIP. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Playa del Carmen?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Playa del Carmen?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
